In Woluwe-Saint-Pierre, certain spots are as much a part of the scenery as they are part of daily life. For years, Shake Hands was one of them. Today, the venue returns with a new identity, Le Shake, aiming to appeal to both regulars and newcomers alike.
A story that is passed down… and transformed
Behind this reopening lies, above all , a personal story. That of a place frequented since childhood, observed, learned from, and almost lived in daily before being taken over. Now at the helm is a duo who have chosen not to turn the page on Shake Hands, but rather to rewrite it with finesse through Le Shake. The idea? To preserve the restaurant’s soul while giving it a new lease on life. The result: a spot that remains deeply rooted in its neighborhood, yet now embraces a more assertive and contemporary identity.
A one-way ticket to Paris, without leaving Brussels
From the moment you walk in, the tone is set: fine materials, soft lighting, a cozy atmosphere…Le Shake evokes the great Parisian brasseries without falling into caricature. The space invites you to linger, whether around the central bar or on the sunny terrace.
On the plate, Le Shake follows the same theme. French classics are certainly present, but reimagined with precision and a modern twist. Expertly sourced ingredients, generous portions, seasonal touches: the menu strikes a balance between tradition and freshness. And to extend the experience, the house cocktails add a creative touch, blending floral influences with fruity accents.
A spot that moves to every beat
This renewal isn’t limited to aesthetics or the menu. Le Shake, formerly known as Shake Hands, adapts to the time of day and guests’ desires. At lunchtime, it attracts a clientele seeking a quick yet refined meal. In the evening, the atmosphere becomes livelier, drawing in a younger crowd without excluding longtime regulars. Open daily, with extended hours on weekends, the establishment has established itself as a true gathering spot. A new chapter for a well-known venue, proving that it’s possible to evolve without ever losing what made it so charming.
